| 1. Dump the potatoes in a big old stock pot with the garlic, the wine and about a gallon of water or stock, about a tbs of salt, a few dashes of hot sauce, the two apple halves and the bay leaves. | 2. Heat on medium with a lid. | 3. While the potatoes soften, simmer the chourico in a smallish sauce pan. | 4. Add a little olive oil if it's really lean sausage. | 5. Cover it and simmer on low (you want to save all the savory, spicey yumminess to stay right there in the pan!) When the potatoes are good and soft, mash them. | 6. (I take the apples out-- they should be floating -- for a sweeter soup, leave them in, but take the peels off.) I mash them right there in the stock pot, but some people like to strain them out, smash'em and then put them back inches. | 7. Whatever you do,*don't* dump out all of the wonderful broth the potatoes have created for you. | 8. Don't smash them entirely if you like a nice chunky soup. | 9. When the chourico is all cooked (I tell by the consistency.) put the onions in the pan and put the lid back on. | 10. Turn off the heat, and let the onions start to wilt in the pan. | 11. Let the potato broth simmer without a lid for about 1/2 hour. | 12. Taste it. | 13. Adjust salt/pepper. | 14. Take out the Bay Leaves Add the Kale, the Chourico/Onion mixture, the thyme, turmeric (about 1 tsp each), the tomatoes and the beans. | 15. Let it simmer with the lid off for about 1/2 hour. | 16. Taste it, adjust it. | 17. Add the juice of about the 1/4 of the lemon. | 18. Continue to simmer and taste for about 1 hour or so adjusting lemon, spices, salt, and hot sauce. | 19. Serve with some crusty bread, and parmesean cheese to put on top. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
